Popis: Here we report the complete amino-acid sequence of the anti-alpha(2-8)polysialic acid antibody mAb735 light chain. The sequence was determined after digestion of the reduced and carboxymethylated L-chain with trypsin, SV-8 proteinase, and Asp-N proteinase, isolation of the generated peptides by RP-HPLC and characterization of these fragments by sequence analysis, amino-acid analysis and/or plasma desorption mass spectrometry. According to Kabat et al. the variable region belongs to the V kappa-II subgroup, whilst according to Hum et al. it belongs to the V kappa-1B subgroup. With the exception of proline at position 46, the sequence from position 1 to 95 is identical to the translated DNA sequence of a V kappa-germline gene segment previously reported.
